Ageing in Place in Urban Environments Critical Perspectives

Ageing in Place in Urban Environments Critical Perspectives

Ageing in Place in Urban Environments considers together two major trends influencing economic and social life: population ageing on the one side and urbanisation on the other. Both have been identified as dominant demographic trends of the twenty-first century. Cities are where the majority of people of all ages now live and where they will spend their old age. Nevertheless cities are typically imagined and structured with a younger working-age population in mind while older people are rarely incorporated into the mainstream of thinking and planning around urban environments. Cities can contribute to vulnerability arising from high levels of population turnover environmental problems gentrification and reduced availability of affordable housing. However they can also provide innovative forms of support and services essential to promoting the quality of life of older people. Policies in Europe have emphasised the role of the local environment in promoting “ageing in place” a term used to describe the goal of helping people to remain in their own homes and communities for as long as they wish. However while this has been the dominant approach the places in which older people are ageing have often proved to be challenging environments. The book explores the forces behind these developments and how older people have responded. Drawing upon approaches from social gerontology urban studies geography and sociology this book will be essential reading for researchers policymakers and practitioners searching for innovative ways to improve the lives of older people living in urban environments.

Violence in Place Cultural and Environmental Wounding

Violence in Place Cultural and Environmental Wounding

Human life is intimately woven into place. Through nations and homelands monuments and sacred sites it becomes the anchorage point for ethnic cultural and national identities. Yet it is also place that becomes the battlefield war zone mass grave desecrated site and destroyed landscape in the midst or aftermath of cultural wounding. Much attention has been given to the impact of trauma and violence on human lives across generations but what of the spaces in which it occurs? How does culturally prescribed violence impact upon place? And how do the non- human species with whom we coexist also suffer through episodes of conflict and violence? By identifying violence in place as a crisis of our times and by encouraging both the witnessing and the diagnosing of harm this book reveals the greater effects of cultural wounding. It problematises the habit of separating human life out from the ecologies in which it is held. If people and place are bound through kinship whether through necessity and survival or choice and abiding love then wounding is co- terminus. The harms done to one will impact upon the other. Case studies from Australia North and South America Europe and the Pacific illustrate the impact of violence in place while supporting a campaign for methodologies that reveal the fullness of the relational bond between people and place. The book will appeal to students and practitioners alike with interests in cultural and human geography anthropology environmental humanities and moral ecology. | Violence in Place Cultural and Environmental Wounding
